Your Clothes
We've never really believed that the "clothes make the man." The man makes the man (meaning your integrity, intelligence, charm, and character); the clothes make the man better (and a nice woman and a fine car don’t hurt either!). What you wear makes a very big impression on the people who give you jobs, with those whom you want to hook up, even those who control your entrance into the club on Saturday night… ok, actually they're looking at your date’s cleavage.   People check your style and make determinations about you before you say word one. So why is it that so many guys have a near-allergic reaction to the idea of buying clothes and paying attention to how they look? Is it because they don’t know how? Or they think it’s not “manly” to dress well? We’ve found over the years that the better you dress (and behave and carry yourself), the more fortune, and the gazes of  women, will smile upon you.  

The truth is there are only two times you need to care about your clothes: when you buy them and when you get them tailored. After that, you pick the gear based on the situation — a job interview on Tuesday morning, a client lunch on Wednesday, a dinner date on Friday, and brunch on Sunday all mean different clothes. Let us walk you through the basics of what to have in your closet, how it should fit and what to wear for each occasion. So throw back a shot of Wild Turkey, turn off SportsCenter, and embark on a very manly pursuit: your clothes.


The Goods: Work Clothing

If your office doesn't require a suit and tie for work, check out the office casual discussion. Work wardrobe basics include the following:

Ties
If you wear a suit, at some point you'll need a tie. A tie is one of the best opportunities for a man to express his personal style. It offers men a world of possibilities, can make or break a suit, and frankly, a lot of guys mess this up. If you put a purple tie with a navy suit tells folks you've got sophistication and style. If you step out in a purple tie and purple suit, you're telling the world you think you're Prince.

Good Stuff for Better Guys
Face Scrub

When you sweat like a pig in the sweltering summer heat, your pores get jammed up with dirt and oily crud. Clear it away with a face scrub, a gritty cleanser that deep-cleans that grime and keeps your face tight, crisp, and mostly zit-free. Several brands we like are available through the Grooming Lounge, Sephora, and at local drugstores.
